Unidentified white coating on body parts...
« on: January 04, 2013, 09:24:52 AM »
Something strange happened to my DJ3A last night while I was sleeping. Can anyone tell me what this strange white stuff is all over my jeep? It looks like cotton but trust me, it is NOT.



Here's a closeup..

It's not cotton, it's cotton CANDY.
Taste it. You'll like it.
Especially with maple syrup. �;D

From my expertise from dealing with the stuff, I would say that it is dihydrogen monodixe that has reached a temperature of or below 32�F in the upper atmosphere and the frozen crystals began to bond together. As the mass accumulated, the crystals became too heavy and fell to earth. Just my take on the phenomena.  :o  ;D

I think that may be more snow than we have received here on the front range of Colorado.
